The Relationship

This study investigated the relationship between high school and college extracurricular activities and congruence between initial and final major of students attending a lower division campus of a comprehensive public university. The results generally support the hypothesis that participation in extracurricular activities is related to congruence between initial and final major. The types of activities that were associated with congruence varied by type of degree (associate vs. baccalaureate) pursued.

University Freshman

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between sexual knowledge, attitude, and satisfaction of sex education in university freshman. Methods: The participants were 275 freshman students under the age of 20 years old. Data were collected in 2017 using a self-report questionnaire. Results: The average scores of participants' sexual knowledge, attitude, and satisfaction of sex education were $24.22{pm}4.94$ out of 38 points, $90.81{pm}15.86$ out of 168 points, and $11.05{pm}3.08$ out of 20 points, respectively. With respect to the demographic characteristics, there were statically significant differences in sexual knowledge according to chances of relationship engagement (F=6.19, p=.002) and residence type (F=3.67, p=.013). Both sexual attitudes and satisfaction of sex education showed significant differences by major (t=3.20, p=.002; t=2.65, p=.009), types of high school (F=3.39, p=.019; F=3.53, p=.015), and interest in previous sex education during teenage years (F=2.88, p=.015; F= 6.22, p<.001). Sexual knowledge showed a statistically significant correlation with attitudes (r=.153, p=.011). Conclusion: There is insufficient sex information available for college students. It is necessary in the future to develop sex education programs that are matched to college students' needs.

Physical Activity Classes

Summary Study aim: Research suggests that physical activity rates decline sharply after high school. The pattern of activity or inactivity during college tends to persist into adulthood. A critical need exists for examination of strategies to engage college-age students in physical activity habits. One way to do this is through physical activity courses offered in colleges. This study examines the relationship between perceptions of a caring psychological climate and group connectedness, enjoyment, and attitudes toward classmates and the instructor in group physical activity courses. Material and methods: Participants were 174 students (107 males and 67 females; Mage = 21.71) enrolled in exercise, martial arts, and sports courses at a large university in the Mountain West. Results: Perceptions of a caring climate were significantly related to enhanced feelings of group connectedness, heightened enjoyment, and more positive attitudes toward classmates and instructor. Discussion: These findings suggest that a strategy to foster engagement in physical activity courses on campus is to train instructors to value, support, and welcome students.

The Relationship

To address the immense need to strengthen the health workforce, as influenced by graduation rate of health sciences students, dropout rate, academic adjustment, and performance, this study is focused to determine the difference in the academic adjustment and performance of first-year students in the health sciences courses in the Philippines. In addition, the study seeks to determine the moderating effect of senior high school strand on the relationship between academic adjustment and performance among Filipino freshmen college students. A sample of 14,062 participants in different health science disciplines at 79 higher education institutions (HEIs) in the Philippines were recruited to answer survey questionnaires. Descriptive analysis revealed that among the sample, students from STEM senior high school (SHS) strand obtained the highest levels of academic adjustment and performance. One-Way ANOVA revealed that there was a significant difference in the academic adjustment and performance when students are stratified according to SHS strand. Moreover, moderation analysis showed that SHS strand significantly moderates the relationship between academic adjustment and performance. Findings of the study have several implications to theory and education practice.

First Generation College

The social experience of transitioning to a four-year university varies widely among students. Some attend with few or no prior contacts or acquaintances from their hometown; others attend with a large network of high school alumni. Using a sample (N=43,240) of undergraduates spanning 7.5 years at a public university, we examine what factors predict high school peer-prevalence on campus (HSPP) and whether HSPP predicts college achievement above and beyond such factors. Analyses found that HSPP was predicted by variables associated with societal privilege (e.g., being White, continuing generation). Above and beyond these variables, HSPP independently predicted higher grades in gateway STEM courses and, among first-generation college students, higher retention. The role of HSPP in fostering equity and inequity is discussed.

The Relationship

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between muscle strength and eye-hand with the results in badminton games on extracurricular students of OKU 2 State Senior High School. The research method used is a correlational method which aims to determine the relationship between variables. The population in this study were 20 students who participated in badminton extracurricular activities at SMA Negeri 2 OKU, while the total sampling sample of this Research City had a sample of 20 students. The test instruments used were two-handed ball tests, ball catching tests and long service tests. Data analysis techniques used are moment and double product modifications.The results of the study prove that there is a relationship between strength and unit, which is proven by 0.716 based on interpretation interpretation tables that have very strong relationships. There is a relationship between responsibility and long service, as evidenced by as much as 0.512 based on the interpretation table interpretation of medium expression. There are strength and mental relationships that work together with long service, as evidenced by the coefficient of a large number of 0.736 based on the interpretation interpretation table must have a very strong
